Philadelphia Flyers winger Travis Konecny (upper body) was a full participant in practice on Wednesday and is nearing a return to the lineup. Konecny missed the team's last six games with an upper-body injury suffered on February 21. The electric forward has 54 points (27 goals, 27 assists) in 57 games played this year and will be a welcome addition to a Flyers team that is looking to overperform expectations and sneak into the playoffs. He will immediately return to top line, top powerplay duties when he returns and should be inserted back into fantasy lineups.

The Flyers now hope to have him back in action on Monday versus St. Louis. Konecny has been in top form throughout the campaign, producing 54 points (27 goals, 27 assists) in 57 games. He's on pace to have the most goals in a Flyers uniform since Scott Hartnell recorded a 37-goal campaign in 2011-12.

He was injured after taking a hit from Penguins forward Jansen Harkins in a contest on Sunday.

The 26-year-old has been in immense form lately, registering a seven-game point streak with five goals and seven assists. He boasts 27 goals and 54 points in 57 games for the season.

That's now 19 points (12 goals, seven assists) in 25 games for Philadelphia's star winger. Konecny has gone quiet after opening 2023-24 with 11 points in nine October appearances. However, the team is playing well, and it should only be a matter of time before Konecny hits top form again.

Konecny missed 22 games last season but was still able to finish as the team's top scorer for a second consecutive year with 61 points. He also enjoyed his first 30-goal campaign in 2022-23.

A "contact with connections to the player" has told Leavins that Edmonton is one of a number of teams that are looking at Konecny, who had an impressive year on a struggling team with 31 goals and 61 points posted in 60 games. The 26-year-old is carrying a $5.5 million cap hit and has two more seasons to go on his contract. The Oilers scored a league-high 3.98 goals per game this regular season and the addition of Konecny would be a further boost to the team's offense.

He will hope to stay clear of injuries in 2023-24, and a better supporting cast would also improve Konecny's fantasy appeal.
Philadelphia Flyers forward Travis Konecny (upper body) has come off Injured Reserve and is set to end a 16-game absence Saturday versus Buffalo. Despite missing close to five weeks of action, Konecny still leads Philadelphia with 27 points and also boasts a team-high 54 points.

Philadelphia Flyers forward Travis Konecny (upper body) is expected to miss an extended period of time. He has already been out for three games and the team also him on Injured Reserve at the weekend. The 25-year-old has dropped out of the lineup as Philadelphia's leading scorer, having posted 27 goals and 54 points in 52 games. Wade Allison has joined the top six in Konecny's absence. Others should have a chance to impress soon as well, considering that Flyers head coach John Tortorella isn't afraid to switch up his lines.

Philadelphia Flyers right wing Travis Konecny (upper body) won't play Tuesday versus Edmonton. He was injured Monday against Calgary and the team is set to re-evaluate Konecny after returning to Philadelphia. There's a chance that he might be back in for Friday's meeting with Montreal. It's been a big year for Konecny with 54 points in 52 games, and he's been red-hot recently with five points in three outings. Konecny's absence leaves a spot open on the first line and head coach John Tortorella will also be forced to switch things up on the power play.

He had a great game in a 4-3 win with a goal and an assist but only got to spend 12:40 on the ice. Konecny reportedly had his left arm in a sling after the game, which isn't good news at all. With 54 points collected through 52 games, this is already a career year for the 25-year-old, and the Flyers will have to be without their top scorer if Konecny needs time to heal. Owen Tippett looks like the most likely candidate to slot into the right-wing position on the first line in Konecny's absence.

Philadelphia Flyers right wing Travis Konecny took his career-best scoring streak to 10 games on Wednesday with a hat trick against Washington.

Mark Recchi in 2002 was the last player to do it for the Flyers. Konecny's current run is the longest active point streak in the league and he has posted a total of 20 points during it. He's currently in truly spectacular form, and with 24 goals and 22 assists registered in 36 games, Konecny is on his way to crushing all of his previous career-high numbers.

He helped both of his linemates Joel Farabee and Noah Cates to light the lamp in the first period. Incredibly, Konecny's current streak includes seven multi-point efforts, and it's helped him to become one of 14 players in the league this season with 20-plus goals and 20-plus assists. The 25-year-old has never managed to average a point per game in his six-year career, but he will be very disappointed if he doesn't get there for the 2022-23 campaign, sitting on 43 points through 35 contests.
Travis Konecny Continues Red-Hot Run Against Anaheim

He has taken over the top scorer's spot on the team with 37 points and 18 of his points have come since the start of last month. The Flyers are having another horrible campaign, but Konecny has rewarded fantasy managers for their trust since Day 1, going scoreless only seven times in 32 outings.
